The cast of Southern Hospitality proves that what happens in Vegas, doesn’t stay in Vegas — not even a shotgun wedding between Maddi Reese and Joe Bradley.
“What happened last night?” Joe asks in Us Weekly’s exclusive first look at the season 3 trailer for the Bravo series and as he wakes up in bed with someone.
The scene then shifts to the Graceland Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas. “Do you promise to always be her hunky burning love?” an Elvis impersonator asks. Joe responds, “Yeah” as his friends watch on in disbelief.
“Is this real?” a stunned Bradley Carter says from the pew, while Joe slips a ring on a veiled lady.
It isn’t until Elvis asks, “Do you promise that you’ll always keep him all shook up?” that viewers learn the bride is Maddi, who is rocking a bright pink bob for the matrimonial occasion. “Yes!” she happily replies.
“It gives me great pleasure to announce you, partners for life,” Elvis declares while Grace Lilly covers her face with a bright blue bouquet.
The rest of the Southern Hospitality cast screams and cheers on the newlyweds as Joe and Maddi share their first passionate kiss as husband and wife.
Everything to Know About ‘Southern Hospitality’ Season 3: Who’s in and Out?
Elsewhere in the trailer, fans see the crew going wild at Republic Garden and Bar back in Charleston, South Carolina, including nights with strippers, bubbles and more.
There are also glimpses at Mia Alario driving a race car and the ladies hanging by a pool in Vegas, which they travel to in support of Maddi’s DJ gig.
“Oh, my god. Holy f—. That’s my girlfriend!” Joe says after seeing Maddi’s face on one of the hotels in Sin City, revealing that they are a couple this season.
Maddi broke up with Trevor Stokes at the end of season 2 — which aired in December 2023 — after she discovered an alleged infidelity. Joe, meanwhile, called it quits with Summer House’s Danielle Olivera in February after a whirlwind romance that began at BravoCon in November 2023.
When the cameras pick back up for season 3, Maddi and Joe are together after Joe pined over his longtime friend for years — but Maddi and Joe’s romance isn’t the only surprising connection this season. Joe also appears to have reconnected with former BFF Will Kulp after questioning his relationship in season 2 with girlfriend Emmy Sharrett.
Southern Hospitality’s Maddi Calls Costars ‘Trash’ Over Trevor Rumors: Watch
“If you told me last summer the four of us would be on a double date, I would have …” Will says while playing pickleball with Joe and Maddie, who finishes his sentence, saying, “Laughed.”
The new season, which filmed over the summer, will also feature four new stars: Molly Moore, Lake Rucker, Michols Peña and Austin Stephan.
While Bradley has the hots for newbie Lake, whom he says in the trailer it didn’t “take long” for him to notice, Molly ruffles Emmy’s feathers.
“I guess I’m just tired of watching the Emmy show,” Molly tells the cameras. Emmy appears to feel the same way about Molly, saying, “I don’t f—ing like Molly. Molly is an insecure bitch.”
As Emmy faces off against the new girl, newbie Austin reignites rumors that Will was unfaithful to her after he started attending law school.

“Apparently, it’s common knowledge at this law school, that this man slept with multiple people,” Austin tells the group, referring to Will.
Emmy — who didn’t listen to the season 2 chatter about Will’s alleged indefinitely — is later seen crying to her friends about the latest drama. “It was one night and I’m like, ‘Who am I to judge?’” Emmy asks, confessing, “I’ve gotten drunk and done things I didn’t mean.”
TJ Dinch, however, isn’t as forgiving. “He’s going to f— you over,” TJ tells Emmy at a party. He then yells at Will, “I bet you f—d that bitch.”
Season 3 of Southern Hospitality premieres on Bravo Thursday, January 2, at 9 p.m. ET, with new episodes available the next day on Peacock. Fans can catch up on seasons 1 and 2 now on Peacock.
